I uncovered my passion for music during my first accordion lesson when I was a child and having a great accordion teacher Betty Ruth Kutzke and George VanDriessche.
This was followed by the most caring Band Director, Walter Cramer, of Bay City Central High School, who inspired me more to pursue my passion of music

I will never forget him or his family.

I followed my dreams of music since 1974 with by touring Band, Linda Lee & the Golden-Aires, and after 17 highly successful years entertaining across the United States, I was invited to work at the best place one can work, Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth, Michigan.
